2016-02-19 Unentangled Knowing 61:09
Guy Armstrong
Upasika Kee was a wonderful woman teacher in Thailand in the last century. She used "unentangled knowing" to refer to a mind that is not caught up in sense objects, but is keenly aware of its own nature. Dependent origination shows how we get caught and how we can be freed.

2016-02-19 How a Night Light Taught Me About the Three Characteristics 67:19
Chas DiCapua
The truth of the way things are is constantly being played out in front of our eyes. Because of delusion, we don’t see this and instead see things incorrectly. By connecting deeply with any object though, we can see through the delusion and apprehend its unsatisfactory, impermanent and selfless nature. Recently on retreat at the Forest Refuge in Massachusetts, an encounter with a night light taught me this dharma lesson that I’ll share with you.

2016-02-18 On the Cushion and In the World 62:26
Kim Allen
This is the third talk in a 5-part speaker series titled "Balanced Practice". Kim Allen speaks about practice on the meditation cushion and in the world. In the Pali tradition, training in behavior, view, and intention precedes meditation. Hence the transition between the two worlds flows naturally. In the West, we tend to go straight to meditation, and hence ask, "How can I bring cushion practice into the world?" As we balance our practice, we discover how cushion practice can enhance our activities in the wider world and vice versa.
